Once upon a time, finding a nice condo to rent in Bangkok that was alsopet-friendly was nearly impossible. The few condos that did allow pets were generally located far from public transportation or had seen better days and were not very wellmaintained.
However, as more people have become animal lovers, pet owners have more opportunities to rent a wide variety of condos in desired neighborhoods and different areas of the city. These homes range from basic studios to multi-bedroom luxury condos in prestigious buildings.
Brand new condos in Bangkok are being offered for sale or rent that are specifically advertised as pet-friendly. However, there are extra considerations to keep in mind before renting a new home for yourself and your furry friend.
You Are Always Responsible for Your Pet
The main thing to remember is that you are always responsible for your pet, whether it means providing for their needs or paying for any damage they cause.
You may notice that some pet-friendly condos may be priced slightly higher than the same-sized units in no-pet condos. As the rental deposit is based on the rental rate, you’d be correct in assuming that this increase is to cover expected damage by a pet. The condo owner has built in an insurance policy for pet damage by increasing the rental rate above market value.
Be a GoodNeighbor
Dogs can become territorial. They also are social animals who crave attention and interaction. Living in a pet-friendly condo complex may require some behavior modification to live in harmony with your neighbors. If your dog barks everytime a visitor approaches your door or barks whenever they hear another dog barking, they may need to un-learn these behaviors to live in condos successfully. Consult with professional pet trainers about the kindest and gentlest way to train your dog effectively before moving into your new condo.
Know Your Neighbors
If your dog is prone to barking, you can bet your neighbor’s dogs are too. Visit your potential new home and walk up and down the hall while talking to a companion. If you hear a chorus of barking, you can assume you’d hear it as part of the daily noise levels.
Provide a Good Living Environment for Your Pet
Most people know their pets well enough to understand the type of living environment they prefer. Please don’t choose a pet-friendly simply because it’s close to the MRT or your favorite shopping mall. Be a responsible owner and see to the needs of your pet.
Choose a condo in Bangkok with a nearby open space where your dog can run. Cats need exercise, too. Choose a condo large enough to house a cat tree, or with nooks and spaces, your cat can explore and play in.
